The first shiny I ever got was in a trade, I remember it was a shiny Charmander. I absolutely loved it, and spent many hours training it up to level 100. Eventually, my inexperienced, stupid self traded it away for Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza which I later found out were all hacked. It completely broke my heart and made me paranoid about trading with people I didn't know.
Story aside, the first shiny I ever got myself in-game was a Dugtrio on route 228 after a chain of, iirc, 19. I actually got another one that same day after a slightly longer chain.
